In bars 205-206, ending the page in A, the slur is led only over the R.H. However, on a new page, in bar 207 the ending of the slur is written in the parts of both hands. It can be simply an insignificant mistake, yet, according to us, writing the slur also in the L.H. proves that Chopin was convinced that he wrote slurs for both hands in the previous bars. Perhaps the slur in GE2 was added on that basis – it is absent in GE1 (→FE→EE1). A slur added only in bar 206 in EE2 (→EE3) is absolutely arbitrary.

Moving the moment of the slurs' division is a typical inaccuracy of GE1 (→FE→EE), corrected in GE2. Similarly a bar further. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

The clear and coherent slurring of A is certainly the only authentic one. Initially, the engraver of GE1 replaced the Chopin slurs with whole-bar ones (same as one bar earlier); it was in the proofreading only that the right-hand ending of the slur beginning in bar 208 was drawn to bar 209. At the same time, the slur in bar 207 is so inaccurate that in FE it was led further on, until the minim in bar 208. As a result, in FE both slurs coincide on this chord, which EE interpreted arbitrarily as a combination of slurs. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE |

In the main text we add the slur in the part of the L.H. Chopin probably considered the slur over the crotchets in the R.H. to be referring to the entire block of the harmonic filling. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

In the main text we add a slur in the L.H. after the reconstructed slur in A in bars 205-207. EE also added a slur, based on the erroneous slur of the R.H. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions |
